For any SCSI devices, the respective category under Drives: Primary or Drives: Secondary should be set to None. For instructions, see "Using the System Setup Program".

10.If you installed a SCSI hard-disk drive, partition and format the drive. Then install the operating system.

For instructions, see the next subsection, "Partitioning and Formatting SCSI Hard-Disk Drives", and your operating system documentation.

11.Test the SCSI devices.

Test a SCSI hard-disk drive by running the SCSI diagnostics. See your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for information on running the Dell Diagnostics and troubleshooting any problems that may occur.

To test a SCSI tape drive, refer to the documentation for the tape drive software to perform a tape drive backup and verification test.

Partitioning and Formatting SCSI Hard-Disk Drives

You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating system to partition and format SCSI hard- disk drives. Refer to the documentation that came with your SCSI software drivers for information on installing the appropriate drivers and preparing your SCSI hard-disk drive for use.

NOTE: When using the Windows NT operating system with the FAT 16 file system, the primary partition for each hard-disk drive can be no larger than 2 GB. Extended partitions can be larger than 2 GB, but each logical drive within an extended partition must be no larger than 2 GB.
